bruceehi all. I have a query about natty. Is this the right place06:37
RAOFThat depends on the type of question.  This is a channel for the development of Natty, so if your question has to do with that, yes :)06:39
bruceewell, I installed it (alpha3) on an older lenovo z61m laptop and I06:40
bruceeI'm having some difficulty with the network. does that qualify :) ?06:40
RAOFMAybe; it perhaps sounds more like a bug report, though. :)06:41
bruceeprobably. Or just me being braindead. So you recommend launchpad?06:42

AnAntdavmor2: thanks16:12
kirklanddebfx: no, it can't;  otherwise, every time console-setup upgrades it would overwrite the alternative priority that kubuntu-settings sets16:12
kirklanddebfx: ie, it could register it at a lower priority, say 2016:12
kirklanddebfx: but every time it upgrades it would re-register it at 20 again16:13
debfxkirkland: yes, console-setup would register it with a lower priority and k-d-s runs updater-alternatives --set ... in postinst16:14
kirklanddebfx: right, but what happens when console-setup upgrades later?16:16
kirklanddebfx: at least the way i'm calling update-alternatives in console-setup.postinst, it's going to overwrite it16:17
kirklanddebfx: unless i'm misunderstanding you...16:17
debfxkirkland: it's not supposed to overwrite it if it's in manual mode16:19
debfxupdate-alternatives --install is a no-op if the alternative is already installed (with the same priority)16:20

debfxkirkland: aha, just revert the changes from the last newt upload :)16:29
kirklanddebfx: okay, if so, then what's the proper syntax for update-alternatives in the kubuntu settings postinst?16:30

slangasekmterry: a quick-n-dirty fix is to just reupload the package that has the broken reference, but that's a bandaid18:03

lamont(etherape:25852): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_ascii_strcasecmp: assertion `s2 != NULL' failed18:05
lamontSegmentation fault18:05
lamontI'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that18:05
mterryslangasek, well that's the interesting thing, when I rebuilt the package, it stopped referencing the other .la file in its own .la.   It started using -l syntax18:05
mterryNot sure how the original path got in there18:06
slangasekmterry: <cough> that's because libtool doesn't know to look in the multiarch directories at all for its .la files18:06
ari-tczewhyperair: so how can I do with that bug?18:06
mterryah...  so that's a fix by way of a different bug?  :)18:06
* hyperair shrugs18:06
lamontslangasek: I thought that was because libtool is just plain not  your friend18:06
lamontkinda like .la files, iirc18:07
mterryslangasek, could you rebuild apr-utils for me?  I'm not core-dev atm18:07
* doko doesn't ask when to start the rebuild test ...18:07
slangasekmterry: the .la is the expected behavior with libtool, when the dependent library has a .la of its own; but we really want it to be *empty*, not just switched to use -l18:07
slangaseklamont: libtool *isn't* my friend, and I really wish it would stop sending me these messages on LinkedIn18:07
slangasekmterry: sure thing18:08
mterry:)18:08
lamontslangasek: heh18:08
slangasekseb128: 29 doesn't seem so bad... :)18:08
seb128slangasek, I'm happy that you are not scared about those ;-)18:09
slangasekseb128: care to paste me the list of actual lib names?  That way I can bump them proactively :)18:10
slangasekseb128: and no, 29 libs uploaded for a trivial .la change, compared to what I've /been/ doing, is not scary at all ;)18:10

KeybukSpamapS: you realise that there is no benefit to constructive discussion with Lennart, right? ;-)18:42
Keybukhis entire reason for even being on the upstart list and IRC channel is simply to be disruptive18:42
ograKeybuk, not to pick up clever ideas ?18:44
Keybukogra: well, given he generally describes Upstart as "wrong", I doubt that18:46
SpamapSKeybuk: I guess I'm like the guy who makes funny faces at the gorillas just to see if they'll fling excrement, event hough everybody has told me thats whats going to happen. ;)18:49
Keybuklol18:50
Keybukactually it's always fun to have more people make funny faces at him18:51
Keybukbecause then he'll reply that he's tried, and I'm not interested in working together18:51
Keybukand I'll point out that I've repeatedly said that I am, but that I don't consider "working together" to be "do what Lennart says"18:51
Keybukand then I attempt to get him to agree to something18:51
Keybukand he goes silent18:51
Keybukand then turns up with "NAK, I'm doing this differently in systemd" or something18:51
waltersKeybuk: 1) your movie twitter post was hilarious  2) i think he's doing the right thing; give him a little bit to come up with another approach18:54
Keybukcf. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34526#c118:54
ubottuFreedesktop bug 34526 in core "Support service activation via Upstart" [Enhancement,New]18:54
SpamapSKeybuk: I suppose all we can do to counter that is to be open and ask for comments on major changes... since... you know.. there are somewhere around a million more upstart users than systemd.. we should probably ask upstart users before Lennart. ;)18:54
KeybukSpamapS: at Google alone, there is probably 1,000 *times more* upstart installs than there are Fedora installs in the entire world ;-)18:55
=== chuck_ is now known as zul
Keybukwalters: I'm not interesting in Lennart coming up with another approach - I'm interested in Lennart actually discussing with me, and others, what the other approach should be18:55
walterssure, so give him a bit of time to post that18:55
Keybukwalters: I've given him a year so far; how much more time should I give?18:56
Keybuk(the LISTEN_FDS discussion started April last year)18:56
Keybuksadly this approach of "the only valid decision is the one made by the Fedora+SuSE cabal" is starting to infect other projects18:57
Keybuksee the recent udev announcement that all systems must support /dev/.run as a tmpfs throughout boot that's later bind-mounted to /var/run18:57
Keybukand then the creation of /run after that18:57
Keybukwithout, at any point, asking any other distribution - many of which have *already solved this* - what they think the approach should be18:58

\shhmmm..could it be that we are right now in the "Everything what Ubuntu does and did is wrong, nasty, evil and totally useless?" unity vs. gnome-shell, upstart vs. systemd , multi-arch ubuntu vs. multi-arch debian? (WRT http://jackyf.livejournal.com/115703.html)20:23
broder\sh: our multiarch spec is the same as debian's20:24
broderwhich is to say, we're using a spec developed at debconf, and for all intents and purposes is a "debian spec", not an "ubuntu spec", but just implementing it sooner20:25
highvoltage\sh: nah, Ubuntu does quite a few things really good20:25
\shbroder: I thought so, but it sounds different from the post I just read on p.d.o.20:25
cjwatsonjackyf is several years too late to the party20:26
broder\sh: that post is complaining about not understanding the spec that's being implemented20:26
broderand suggesting an alternative that they're asserting makes more sense20:26
ScottKcjwatson: If their blogging on livejournal, that's a given.20:28
\shbroder: I'm just concerned about "bad PR" with regards of the latest happenings20:29
ScottK\sh: Bad PR can happen whether you deserve it or not.  I think we should just minimize the deserving it and not worry about the rest.20:29
ScottK\sh: It would be interesting to hear about the distros that started transitioning to System D in 2006 when we started our Upstart transition.20:30
ScottKSome people don't understand the notion that time move in one direction for most mortals.20:31

cndI'm trying to help someone get their game into Ubuntu, but there are possible issues with media licensing (fonts and audio)21:06
cndthe audio files clearly aren't gpl compatible, but I don't know if they really need to be21:06
cndis there some place where these issues can be reviewed?21:07
=== SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq
ScottKcnd: We don't require GPL compatiblity.  To get into Universe it needs to be ~DFSG free (was also allow GFDL with invariant sections that Debian doesn't).  To get into Multiverse it just has to be legal to distribute.21:16
ScottKcnd: Any archive admin can answer questions, so just ask.21:16
slangasekjamespage: any luck with jenkins?21:17
slangasekor with openjdk, I should say21:17
cndScottK, I should have mentioned that the source code is GPL, but here's a merge request with the important information: https://code.launchpad.net/~libavg-team/geneatd/packaging.cleanup/+merge/5353821:19
ubottuUbuntu bug 53538 in samba (Ubuntu) "Not install package (dup-of: 9208)" [Undecided,New]21:19
ubottuUbuntu bug 9208 in gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) "Samba upgrade failure due to broken rc.d symlinks" [High,Fix released]21:19
cndthere's audio files that are CC-sampling 1.021:19
cndand the game source code is GPLv3+21:19
ScottKI'd have to look up that CC license, but IIRC it's problematic to combine those into one work.21:20
slangasekhowever, it's questionable whether a game engine + accompanying audio files are considered "one work"; it depends a lot on the specific license wording21:21
ScottKI guess.21:30
=== sconklin is now known as sconklin-gone
cndScottK, so where do I go from here to get a more definitive answer?21:50
GatoLokohi22:16
ScottKcnd: Get the package uploaded to REVU and then one of us archive admins might review it if we have time.  We don't have even a rough equivalent of debian-legal.23:41
